Well, even I didn't predict this would happen so fast: Dwight Howard was a New Jersey Net for less than 48 hours. He's been bought out, and is now an unrestricted free agent. He wants to sign with a contender that won't try to change who he is.
As much as I'd like to scoff at this ... If he is willing to swallow his pride and take the veteran's minimum, could be not still help out a contender or team on the rise?
That's a HUGE "if", of course.
But let's give him the undeserved benefit of the doubt here. Dude is still an athletic beast who averaged a double-double even in his 14th year in the League.
I know he is widely disliked by many players in the Association due to his attitude, but, man, if even the lowly Nets don't want your ass, you HAVE to make some changes, right?
Could the Cavs or the Spurs use him?
